Unified Carrier Registration

TxDMV works with domestic and international partners to ensure the safe transit of motor carriers in and through Texas. The federal Unified Carrier Registration (UCR) Agreement requires individuals and companies that operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate or international commerce to register their business with TxDMV and pay an annual fee based on the size of their fleet. If you operate a truck in interstate or international commerce, the UCR Agreement applies to your business. With regard to interstate and international operations, provisions of the UCR affect the following:

Online registration is faster and it is highly recommended that you register on the national UCR online system hosted by the Indiana Department of Revenue. Go to http://www.ucr.in.gov and follow the computer prompts. The system is now enabled for smart phones.

Note: If you operated in 2013 and/or 2014 and did not register, you must complete the appropriate year application(s) online, by fax or mail and send to our office with your payment. Roadside enforcement of UCR requirements starts Jan. 1 each calendar year.
